A novel 4D chaotic system with multistability: Dynamical analysis, circuit implementation, control design

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to introduce a novel 4D chaotic system and investigate its multistability. The novel system has an unstable origin and two stable symmetrical hyperbolic equilibria. When the parameter increases across a critical value, the equilibria lose their stability and double Hopf bifurcations occur with the appearance of limit cycles. A pair of point, periodic, chaotic attractors are observed in the system from different initial values for given parameters. The chaos of the system is yielded via period-doubling bifurcation. A double-scroll chaotic attractor is numerically observed as well. By using the electronic circuit, the chaotic attractor of the system is realized. The control problem of the system is reported. An effective controller is designed to stabilize the system.
